PT XL Axiata Tbk[1] (formerly PT Excelcomindo Pratama Tbk), also known as XL, is an Indonesia-based mobile telecommunications services operator. The operator's coverage includes Java, Bali and Lombok as well as the principal cities in and around Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi. XL offers data communication, broadband Internet, mobile communication and 3G services over GSM 900, GSM 1800 networks.

XL was the first private mobile services operator in the country, starting commercial operations on 8 October 1996. Sources claim that the operator serves more than 22 million subscribers.

Excelcomindo was established on 6 October 1989 under the name of PT Grahametropolitan Lestari and originally was a trading and general services company.[2]

Initially XL provided cellular mobile telephony services using the GSM 900 technology. Later, the company was awarded a license for implementing a DCS 1800 network, and to operate ISP and offer VoIP services. In 2006, XL obtained a 3G license, with services launched in September 2006.

It is reported that XL operates more than 13,000 Base Transceiver Station (BTS) towers across Indonesia.
